你可以用元组来做很多你在C语言中使用结构体的事情(比如x,y坐标或RGB颜色)。

对于其他任何东西，你可以使用字典，或像这样的实用程序类:

>>> class Bunch:
...     def __init__(self, **kwds):
...         self.__dict__.update(kwds)
...
>>> mystruct = Bunch(field1=value1, field2=value2)

我认为“权威”的讨论在这里，在Python Cookbook的出版版本中。

每当我需要一个“行为像字典一样的即时数据对象”(我不会想到C结构体!)，我就会想到这个可爱的hack:

class Map(dict):
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        super(Map, self).__init__(**kwargs)
        self.__dict__ = self

现在你可以说:

struct = Map(field1='foo', field2='bar', field3=42)

self.assertEquals('bar', struct.field2)
self.assertEquals(42, struct['field3'])

当你需要一个“不是类的数据包”的时候，非常方便，当命名元组是不可理解的……

也许你正在寻找没有构造函数的struct:

class Sample:
  name = ''
  average = 0.0
  values = None # list cannot be initialized here!


s1 = Sample()
s1.name = "sample 1"
s1.values = []
s1.values.append(1)
s1.values.append(2)
s1.values.append(3)

s2 = Sample()
s2.name = "sample 2"
s2.values = []
s2.values.append(4)

for v in s1.values:   # prints 1,2,3 --> OK.
  print v
print "***"
for v in s2.values:   # prints 4 --> OK.
  print v

就我个人而言，我也喜欢这种变体。它扩展了@dF的答案。

class struct:
    def __init__(self, *sequential, **named):
        fields = dict(zip(sequential, [None]*len(sequential)), **named)
        self.__dict__.update(fields)
    def __repr__(self):
        return str(self.__dict__)

它支持两种初始化模式(可以混合使用):

# Struct with field1, field2, field3 that are initialized to None.
mystruct1 = struct("field1", "field2", "field3") 
# Struct with field1, field2, field3 that are initialized according to arguments.
mystruct2 = struct(field1=1, field2=2, field3=3)

而且，它打印得更好:

print(mystruct2)
# Prints: {'field3': 3, 'field1': 1, 'field2': 2}

有一个python包正是用于此目的。看到cstruct2py

cstruct2py是一个纯python库，用于从C代码生成python类，并使用它们来打包和解包数据。该库可以解析C头文件(结构体、联合、枚举和数组声明)，并在python中模拟它们。生成的python类可以解析和打包数据。

例如:

typedef struct {
  int x;
  int y;
} Point;

after generating pythonic class...
p = Point(x=0x1234, y=0x5678)
p.packed == "\x34\x12\x00\x00\x78\x56\x00\x00"

如何使用

首先，我们需要生成python结构体:

import cstruct2py
parser = cstruct2py.c2py.Parser()
parser.parse_file('examples/example.h')

现在我们可以从C代码中导入所有的名称:

parser.update_globals(globals())

我们也可以直接这样做:

A = parser.parse_string('struct A { int x; int y;};')

使用C代码中的类型和定义

a = A()
a.x = 45
print a
buf = a.packed
b = A(buf)
print b
c = A('aaaa11112222', 2)
print c
print repr(c)

输出将是:

{'x':0x2d, 'y':0x0}
{'x':0x2d, 'y':0x0}
{'x':0x31316161, 'y':0x32323131}
A('aa111122', x=0x31316161, y=0x32323131)

克隆

对于克隆cstruct2py运行:

git clone https://github.com/st0ky/cstruct2py.git --recursive

还可以按位置将初始化参数传递给实例变量

# Abstract struct class       
class Struct:
    def __init__ (self, *argv, **argd):
        if len(argd):
            # Update by dictionary
            self.__dict__.update (argd)
        else:
            # Update by position
            attrs = filter (lambda x: x[0:2] != "__", dir(self))
            for n in range(len(argv)):
                setattr(self, attrs[n], argv[n])

# Specific class
class Point3dStruct (Struct):
    x = 0
    y = 0
    z = 0

pt1 = Point3dStruct()
pt1.x = 10

print pt1.x
print "-"*10

pt2 = Point3dStruct(5, 6)

print pt2.x, pt2.y
print "-"*10

pt3 = Point3dStruct (x=1, y=2, z=3)
print pt3.x, pt3.y, pt3.z
print "-"*10
